Thank you all for coming out to our Springdale Bypass (Interstate 42/Highway 642) and Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA) Connector Road (Highway 642) ribbon cutting yesterday in Northwest Arkansas.

Seeing so many people come out to celebrate these projects is a reminder of why we do what we do. Every mile of roadway we build, every connection we make, and every project we complete is about building a better future for our state.
